CQ Center creates brand new role – VP, Global Diversity Practice

Sep 22, 2020
  • News

The Cultural Intelligence Center is excited to announce the promotion of Dr. Sandra Upton to the newly created position of Vice President of our Global Diversity Practice.  Dr. Upton currently serves the Cultural Intelligence Center as the Vice President of Educational Initiatives.  In her new role, she will provide leadership and expertise on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) for all of our clients, including implementation of a comprehensive set of products and services for supporting DEI initiatives.

“Sandra joined the Cultural Intelligence Center six years ago as our first sub-contracted consultant. She was so effective that a year later, we hired her to lead the education segment.  She has established many new partnerships with educational institutions across the world. This promotion is a reflection of her growing influence as a cultural intelligence leader internally and externally. Diversity has been part of our work from the beginning. But with Sandra leading our efforts across all industries, it will allow us to provide a more strategic response to the global movement related to DEI and race.” – David Livermore | President, Cultural Intelligence Center

Sandra will continue to work with many of our educational clients as well as providing leadership on DEI work with clients in corporate, government, non-profit contexts etc.  Part of her new responsibilities will include strategic leadership, consultation on our DEI solutions and support to key partners who want to ensure a comprehensive CQ strategy for addressing DEI.
